Total power move. First, he takes Khalil's number, now he's taking his spot.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. These are numbers from over a year ago. He will be a beast this year too.

Damn impressive.

Question for you serious power lifters...what does 3 reps of 400lbs with that level of effort equal for a max?

Around 440 although he probably has more in him if he gets psyched up for a 1rm attempt

I could do that much at that age, but with considerably more effort...that was around my max. I feel sorry for Kongbo for when he's my age and has trouble doing squats with NO weight like me.

Kong don't need no belt? Yikes.

I'll post here what I posted on FB in response to this video. No offense, but I would certainly hope a JUCO DE could squat 405 with ease. Most D1 wide receivers could do the same. At his size and position he should be able to bench 405 for that many reps with relative ease.

Here's a Vine video of Kongbo from late 2014 showing him squat 600, and I've seen his max listed as 705.

I used to be able to do the exact same thing. It was just something like 150# tho. Pretty much the same, right?

Excellent. This is more like it.

Jack's right. Some of our VN posters must have not either been in actual weight training rooms or lifted themselves. 400 is OK for a guy his size, but the largest muscles in your body are below your waist. I don't think he'll find many SEC OTs losing sleep over this.

Exactly. I a 38 yr old who weighs 187 and can squat 385# for 6 reps after only a year of training. The 700# max number I saw above looks much more accurate for a guy of his size, weight and age.

He made 405 look easy. Best guess is he can do multiple reps at 1.5 x his body weight without too much of a struggle. Probably has a max at 2 time BW, so abt 590-600.

 

[illinoisvolfan1]

Funny thing is he doesn't even look biulky or really even that strong when he's just standing around. He is a beast.

I was about to say. I would imagine just about every defensive lineman and probably linebacker we have on the roster could squat 400 lbs. hell I did 405 my senior year of high school. Now that 700 lbs that's damn impressive.

 

[VolDaddy61]

All of these experts talking about how much he should be lifting, what most athletes do blah..blah SHOULD post a video of themselves under 400 lbs and squat. Then talk. GBO

 

[FLVOL_79]

Not to depth. noob.

 

[pismonque]

Jeez. These days I have to be careful not to throw my back out doing another kind of squat.

Hasn't started juicing yet.
